Driving operation feedback apparatus and program for same

Abstract

A safe driving support apparatus in a vehicle is used in a manner that prevents an over-reliance of a driver on a safety device by an application of a technique. That is, for example, an evaluation of driving operation is lowered when the vehicle has been under control of an avoidance control for avoiding an unsafe situation of the vehicle, and the lowered evaluation of driving operation is recorded on a memory medium as well as being notified for the driver after evaluation is being changed. A provision of the avoidance control may result in a suppression of a vehicular function that contributes to a comfort in the vehicle among functions provided by in-vehicle devices.

1. A driving operation feedback apparatus comprising:
 a safe driving support unit that performs an avoidance control to have a vehicle avoid an unsafe condition based on information regarding physical condition around the vehicle and on a content of a driver's operation of the vehicle; 
 a function suppression unit that prohibits traveling of the vehicle based on the avoidance control performed by the safe driving support unit, and 
 a movie player that plays a movie for a safe driving operation lesson based on the driver's operation, wherein
 the function suppression unit releases a prohibition of the traveling of the vehicle based on a playback of the movie by the movie player. 
 
 
   
   
     2. A program product stored in a storage medium for operating a computer as following units, the program product comprising steps of:
 providing a safe driving support unit that performs an avoidance control to have a vehicle avoid an unsafe condition based on information regarding physical condition around the vehicle and on a content of a driving operation by a driver in the vehicle, 
 providing a function suppression unit that prohibits traveling of the vehicle based on the avoidance control performed by the safe driving support unit, and 
 providing a movie player that plays a movie for a safe driving operation lesson based on the driver's operation, wherein
 the function suppression unit releases a prohibition of the traveling of the vehicle based on a playback of the movie by the movie player.
